Carers’ attitudes towards direct payments

, 2015
Direct payments are becoming an increasingly prevalent form of personalised support in social services. Spending on direct payments for adults in England has more than doubled from £450 million in 2007-08 to £1.2 billion in 2012 ...

Nano Carbon‐mesh with Excellent Bonding Performance via Hydro‐cage De‐shielding Strategy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hydro‐cage de‐shielding strategy transforms cellulose‐based films into a dragonfly‐wing‐like nano carbon‐mesh (NCM) adhesive through instantaneous carbonization‐polymerization. The resulting NCM‐plywood achieves exceptional wet shear strength (1.24 MPa at 63°C), exceeding Class II plywood standards, and retains 0.73 MPa after boiling‐water cycles ...

OPTIONS OF FINANCING THE CAP – CONSEQUENCES FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF FARM PAYMENTS

The introduction of decoupled direct payments in the EU was a substantial change of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in 2003. After decoupling direct payments from production, it has become evident, that distributional objectives are the major ...

Bilateral SERS‐Microneedle Patch for Co‐Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis Comorbidity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study introduced a U@mP@Au‐mediated bilateral SERS‐microneedle patch for analyzing glucose levels from ISF and sensitively detecting TB biomarkers from sputum, respectively. This integrated dual‐analyte detecting platform can be used for co‐diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) comorbidity, which was demonstrated in ex vivo ...

Tumor‐Specific Delivery of CD28 siRNA via Lyso‐PC C‐16 Modified Lipid Nanoparticles Overcomes Anti‐PD‐1 Resistance by Remodeling Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops 16:0 LPC‐modified lipid nanoparticles (LPC‐LNPs) with cancer cell specificity by exploiting altered tumor lipid metabolism. LPC‐LNPs encapsulating Cd28 small interfering RNA (LPC‐LNP‐Cd28) knock down cancer cell CD28 without affecting T cells, inflame the tumor microenvironment, and overcome anti‐PD‐1 resistance.

Unconventional Room‐Temperature Antisymmetric Magnetoresistance in van der Waals Fe3GaTe2/Pt Heterostructures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigated a special electrical phenomenon, known as antisymmetric magnetoresistance with four distinct resistance states, in 2D Fe3GaTe2/Pt devices at room temperature. By designing devices with two separated magnetic nanoflakes, we confirmed that the effect originates from spin–momentum locking rather than magnetic domain walls or interface ...
